So.. What makes a mod?

by **Skittles!** on Mon Sep 01, 2008 2:12 am

The question is in a topic. When these global mods were chosen, we were told that they are good for the community. We were told they would make CC better. But was this true?

What actually makes a mod? Is it their niceness? Is it their discreet habits? Is it their ability to ban everyone that goes against the "rules"? Is it for how quick they can lock a thread? The latter two seems more appropriate for some of these mods.

Though I know this will probably get locked, and then I will get a warning about how the mods are crying that I made a thread that goes against them. But I don't really care. 'Cause a lot of these mods are just wasting their time by sending warnings and locking threads, when they could be doing better things. And it's not the communities fault, because it was started by the mods and has continued and will continue. See the "C" threads for example.

But anyway. What makes a good mod?

Very funny LV, however I have to say I thought the most important attributes making a mod was a strange dress code and a fascination for Lambrettas or Vespers motor scooters.

hmm yeas, your language usage and sentence structure confused an old, quasi-traditionalist like me... particularly early in the day!
use more dots... they help convey meaning without the requirement of cracking the finer points of punctuation ... which i certainly never have!

i think what we're seeing is just conquerclub growing pains, we're getting to be pretty damn big, lots of games being played all day long, alot of rampant trolling and multis as a result of the first disgruntled employee. i think once lack and twill get their ballance again, that cc will be doing better than ever. but the current vision of the mods as censors is just a result of these growing pains. they have to figure out what works, what doesnt, and what we actually want from them. because ultimately everybody on here wants something different, and all of us complain when the specific thing we want isnt given to us timely. lots of people have been complaining about multis and trolls, so theyve gotten stricter with the forum rules. it will pass.

but, i think what makes a mod, is when you know theyre not biased, and you know they actually care about the tough decisions that they have to make. mods that nobody ever complains about, there are a few, you just dont hear about them much because so many people spend time complaining about the ones that they envision are out to get them.
